Donnie Baseball Gets The Hot Seat

If Joe Girardi takes the Cubs managerial reigns next season, then who would take the Yankees manager's position?
I would have hoped for Don Mattingly. It would have been nice to see him in pinstripes again, wearing his familiar number 23. One of my favorite Yankees ever, Donnie Baseball doesn't look good wearing a Dodgers uniform.
Unfortunately, the Mattingly option is gone.
With Joe Torre stepping down as manager of the Dodgers after this season, Mattingly has been named LA's skipper next season.
Good for Mattingly. He's put in his time and I think he'll do well managing the Dodgers, especially if the ownership situation out there gets settled.
So, if Girardi leaves, who takes over in the Bronx?
If the Cubs make the right move and promote Ryne Sandberg from AAA to manage, then Girardi stays with the Yankees. So, I hope the Cubs hire Sandberg.
If the Yankees do have to hire a new manager, whom do they go with? I'll throw out a couple of longshots...Tony LaRussa and Bobby Valentine.
